Barbara, 7, is a bubbly, energetic young girl with blond hair and blue eyes. An outgoing child who easily makes friends, Barbara enjoys arts and crafts, swimming, reading, listening to music and shopping.

Barbara, athletic and competitive in nature, is easily accepted by her peers and participates in peer activities.

A first-grade pupil, Barbara does average work academically and does not receive any special academic services.

A child who enjoys a lot of one-to-one attention, Barbara may do best in a home where she is an only child. Barbara strongly needs to find a “forever” family that can offer her stability and a permanent setting.

Barbara would like to find a home where she can have her own room and work on a computer that has a color printer. She also would like to have the opportunity to learn how to use in-line skates and to take swimming lessons.
